Greco EB-270

This could be an EB-300, but it has lost its mute mechanism so has become a 270 spec model. The charm of this short-scale bass is its simplicity. Despite the big pick-up cover, this is a humble tele-bass style single coil unit, and all the more characterful for it. Never sounding weedy, still perfectly OK with flat-wound strings, it has a real personality and can be taken seriously as a gigging bass.

Currently on older flats, which we think adds even more to the character. With such a simple bass, we'll keep this advert short. Its just been serviced, the neck is slick and quick, it weighs less than most of our guitars, No-one has managed to sample this bass without smiling.
